Mule Deer like Cantelope

Feeding Mule Deer in Woodland Park, Colorado.

[@billknox4121]

They need orange collars if their that tame. They’ll walk up to hunters and it won’t end well

[@thehillbillyhoarder4996]

Like your idea. I put some collars on whitetail deer that I feed. But I need to come up with better collars. If you get a chance check it out

[@lauranorwar]

Great suggestion!!

[@johndoe43]

Most true hunters are not going to ruin an experience like that.

[@OutnBacker]

Make sure they are break-away collars s they don't end up caught on a heavy brush.

[@johndoe43]

@@OutnBacker somehow I got your comment but not sure it was meant for me. Good point. I know a guy that lost a good dog due to a collar. It got hung on something and killed the dog

[@MrMali22]

Yall need to put some orange collars on them. It's not fair to them if they walk up to a hunter

[@andrew69novak]

Such beautiful animals 😊

[@Dan.d649]

Very beautiful creatures. They look like they're very timid. They're so cute. I wonder if these Mule deer love being petted, while they are hand fed. I adore these kind of animals.🙏✝️

[@Kurt77777]

I think that that can be answered with one simple question? Do you like to be petted? I don't think any animal likes to be petted. If they are tame or domesticated, then I think that they like to be lovingly touched. I don't pet dogs, I give them a gentle massage. I press hard behind the neck. They seem to like it.

[@francisconti9085]

I've walked with wild animals for over 40 years, deer for over 20..all deer have an insatiable curiosity..like the curiosity killed the cat..they ise it to gain understanding of routines, social aspects, food, threats, etc in their rather subtle but complicated lives. They'll check everything, everyone out till they feel its unsafe to do so.. hunters quite often act like bedded deer, quietly set, watchful.. deer walk up to them Plenty of vids on internet This Momma & little ones are enjoying the high value nutrition & peace..Mule deer are bigger than my whitetail! They are all beautiful though!

[@lewisvogel466]

I was sitting in my truck on an air force base in Washington, and a whole family of deer came up to me in my truck to see what I was doing

[@francisconti9085]

@@lewisvogel466 Sounds about right.. "Whatcha doin, you on watch too, eh? Hey, a possibility of a morsel is always a possibility..either way well get to the bottom of your activity..good or bad, or just peace.."

[@francisconti9085]

@@lewisvogel466 I just got done ruffling my Zoe's little.Luna..she & brother Rascal are so big now.. but Momma Zoe is the chunker, she has a lot of mass, she was a runt triplet when she was born in 2016.. We only eat the tourists, my guys have been family & neighbors for over 20 years.. possibly no greater loyalty than from a deer..(or a dog!) We love meeting up every day, but they behave more catlike..

[@lewisvogel466]

@@francisconti9085 That is so awesome

[@francisconti9085]

@@lewisvogel466 I work @ a church, my Zoe was born @ my house where there was similar deer nursery friendly habitat, she claimed the adjacent territory where I worked as her nursery/territory. I'd worked with her matriarchy on street/vehicle smarts & human activity, deer are curious by survival need of knowledge, & they get pretty smart if they have opportunity to engage.. I love working alongside them, we can communicate intent & understand each other in processes, very vocational, operant conditioning..sorta like being in military, from the tactical awareness & sightline watch, stealth, defensive focus, and repeating routine till muscle memory..I was never in service as military but worked training support roles with & for and other "Civilian National Service" I'd love for there to be a way to bring veterans into the world I know now with my deer.. very leaceful, restorative, healing effects..& once you come to understand them, you see their small unit tactics and tightness. When you get to see individuals develop, its amazing..better friends than any pet, they are very serious. So much like us, yet also so alien to their ways & needs. I'm so blessed to actually SEE them now..not the fleeting lack of understanding, but to have them bed down around me, trust me as the watch..if I sit down, someone usually pops up, takes over. I love when they come in as I'm about to mow, I'll tell Zoe the lot order, shell adjust the family out of those lots, she'll come over , check, waiting when I'm almost done w/one she wants, OR.. shell "ask"("You gonna let me have it?") for a lot first..she "adjusted" my order to her liking. They help hedge control, weeding, and window spiderwebs too 🥰👍

[@weeman782]

My thought the same as Bill k I'm a hunter, so not a good idea for them if they r a buck, or if there are poachers , poachers don't discriminate,

[@deborahluongo6794]

Just saw this I love this! They are my favorite favorite animals on the planet! I hope you are continuing doing this wonderful kind gesture for these beautiful animals❤

[@stephensfarms7165]

Put orange collars for them, yes.

[@jsd8197]

We feed ours hay and grains. They love apples too.

[@angelmartin7310]

Is there any way to protect them from hunters? Knowing i.would fear for them and feel powerless to protect them is what keeps me from feeding them.

[@jsd8197]

If your on private property you can post no trespassing signs every 10 feet. It has to be 10 feet to make it legal. You can also go to the local camping and ammo store and put signs up in the store and talk to the owner and tell him there is no hunting in your area. I hope the helps.

[@nicktsambassis8913]

So cute, tame, and trusting of those humans; the humans get it that they share "the interdependent web of existence, of which we are a part" with all living creatures.

[@davidgreve2181]

Keep a few bales of alfalfa hay handy for them to winter on.

[@puirYorick]

How will you protect them from getting killed by a hunter now that you made them think humans are a friendly source of sweet treats? SMDH. Unless you are one of those rare people with a massive private reserve that can keep such species safe from poachers and legal hunters all you're doing is interfering with their natural life preserving caution around humans. This was a selfish indulgence in an "aw cute moment" for social media which will likely cost those deer down the road. 👎

[@MrMali22]

Usually people that tame deer put collars on them. Otherwise nothing a hunter will kill them

[@puirYorick]

@@MrMali22 Yes, I've seen a couple KZbinrs that have those 'pet deer' with fluorescent collars. They tend to also own huge rural properties that they have at least legal say over. Suburban dwellers though??

Love the landscape with the snow. The mule deer are sweet and darling. Of course, the deer are being spoiled by you all. Cute animals are difficult to resist, I realize.

[@razedbywolves8505]

You should not handle or feed wildlife and especially give them foods they are not accustomed to. They are not pets!

[@lewisvogel466]

Oh hell. I fed a deer a potato chip once and he loved it

[@tonychandley1309]

I'm a deer hunter and I'm not here to talk down to u for petting and feeding these animals. Just would be nice if u could get some of them collars people are talking about. Just don't want to c these deer killed by hunters or idiots.

[@angelmartin7310]

I agree. Do you think hunters will respect the orange collar?

[@tonychandley1309]

Can't speak for everyone around there. I do believe if it gets spread the area that there are deers with orange collars and what they mean to the neighborhood. The hunters will respect that. All hunters are not bad people. We do respect the animals and the land.

[@amel888]

How?

[@deniseroberts7481]

@@amel888 clearly you just do not understand 🙄 If a wild animal isn't afraid of humans its putting its safety in jeopardy because there are people that hunt , not to mention they will come in to suburban areas where they wreak havoc and the list goes on ! Not everybody looks at these animals like their Bambi in a Disney movie. I love seeing deer too in fact I see them all the time and many other wild animals' nature is glorious but if you want to be close to them best go to a petting zoo in the city where you both are protected .....
